God wants to do extraordinary things in our lives. But what if we don't think of ourselves as particularly special? What if we are just ... ordinary? Can God use us too?

In this week's message, pastor Dan breaks down the type of person God uses, and as it turns out, He seems to prefer to do the miraculous through regular people, not super saints.

Have you ever offered God a promise, a bargain or a sacrifice in the hopes that He would bail you out of a tough situation? If so, you probably discovered that, while they might work with your spouse, grand gestures don't really work with God. Maybe God isn't waiting for you to offer a grand gesture to Him, but for you to trust His grand gesture to you.

Pastor Dan explains more in this week's message from Micah 6:8.

I takes guts to live "unordinary." But where do you find boldness when you aren't feeling very brave? Pastor Amber shares the answer in this week's message!

Nobody wants a cookie cutter life; we'd all like to break the mould of "typical." But to be different, we have to live different - as something the Bible calls a "living sacrifice." Join us for the first week of our UNORDINARY series!

Everybody wants a clearer vision for their life. But what most of us fail to realize is that the best vision doesn't come from our heart, it comes from God's word. In our final Tweetable Truth message, pastor Dan shares a God-sized vision for our church and for your life.

Have you ever thought about the Bible being funny? Parts of it absolutely are! Proverbs 26:13-15 is a great example: Pastor Dan shares how passage is full of satire, and designed to make you think about the opportunities you miss out on when you continually make excuses.

"Is it just a phase?"

"Is this relationship toxic?"

"Should I continue to forgive them, or is it time to move on?"

If you've ever asked yourself any of those questions, you do not want to miss the wisdom found in Proverbs chapter number 1! Pastor Dan breaks down the three types of fools in your life and what to do with each.

In 2017, everyone is outraged. From politics to social issues to personal conflicts, it seems like the tension has risen and civility has disappeared. But there is a surprisingly straightforward way to change the tone of our culture; all we need to do is change the tone of our conversations.

This week, pastor Dan breaks down a path forward in your personal relationships and in our national difficulties from Proverbs 18:2 - "A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but delights in airing their own opinions."

The world is full of smart people making dumb decisions. Why is that? Proverbs 27:12 gives us the answer. If you or someone you know is stuck in a cycle of mistakes and regret, pastor Dan breaks down how God's wisdom has the power to set us free!
